Hi.
I’ve noticed that there is a discrepancy on the Government’s ‘Benefits and pension rates 2020 to 2021’ policy page published on the 9th of April and wondered if anyone knows who might be the best person to contact to have it rectified please?
The amount for the single person for Pension Credit is listed as £173.25pw rather than £173.75.
Many thanks!
Carolyn

I’ve just emailed Pension Service to ask them is they can amend Carolyn.

Pension Service colleague has replied to say:

It looks as if the pdf version is correct so it was a ‘transcribing’ to html issue. Thanks again for flagging, much appreciated.

So thanks again for spotting this Carolyn and hopefully will be rectified swiftly :-)

... and policy said “Thanks for spotting and flagging this up! Not sure how that slipped in given all the proof checks we did. It’s annoying! We’ve asked for the figure to be put right urgently.”
